It's crazy But one thing I thought she did that was honestly brilliant is she peeled off a little bit of the egg carton?

Because I was always like how am I gonna know when the eggs are bad and this has been so game-changing So literally whatever carton you have you just peel off the expiration date and you can put it in there and that way you'll always Know when the stuff in the clear containers go bad because that was always my biggest thing I was like, well, I how do I know but I want it to like look cute and yeah, I've been I've been loving it Really has like so many things. She's taught me is stuck, which I did upload a main channel video I know like I maintain it's crazy like me to the

But let's see how it tastes literally just eggs in a tortilla trying to be dairy-free again Oh, I just like cheese Like lately I've been craving cheese and I know that's like a thing It's definitely stiffer than a normal tortilla, but I like the flavor of it. It's really good. Okay

We made out of the house currently headed to Ashley's I'm hoping I can make a coffee at her place real quick cuz like I said I didn't have my coffee yet, and I think that's half the reason why I'm like wake up I don't only get caffeine headaches. I don't know I don't feel like I get like Oh here hold on I'm dying because literally five minutes after that last clip. I'm sitting there driving. I'm like I kind of do have a headache It's probably a caffeine headache. Maybe not who knows it could be something else, but ironic ironic just got to Ashley's

Oh my God. This was a beef tamale wrapped in corn husks.

Beef and corn.

Thanks, Devia.

I got so much done today.

Oh, you love your Louise.

I have been using her. I decided I'm gonna make this one my wedding planning book.

Oh cute!

So I want to go to your, um, I found a little like wedding dress outline template that I want to print at your house so I can like sketch it in here. Cute. And then I want to print out, or I want to get like a magazine to like cut out.

Wait, I feel like you're finally excited. Yes. Because we have a venue and I feel like these are family happening

I'm not built for this if it was yours. I'd be way I think I'd be done

I was face timing Remy yesterday and she was like, oh I offered like if she ever wants to get she was like How's that? I was like, she's good She's like overwhelmed with it and then she's like well I told her like multiple times I'd get coffee with her and she hasn't asked I was like cuz she won't

Just fucking ask. I also like I don't really know what else to ask for help

But that's the that's the questions you need them to let you know what you need to know

You know what? I mean? I think I'm gonna try to make my own centerpieces. I found These fabric decor that you can like stand in front of, like the husband and wife. And it looks doable. And I think me and dad could like build it together. And I was like, it looks like I just need to buy like some like stock silk fabric, which is perfect because downtown LASIK right here,

I think I could find it. And I saw people like, I've watched so many DIYs on how to do it. It's easy. Well, that's, yeah. What's hard is building the PVC holder for it, but I was like, I bet you and Jackson could do it.

We did connect, what were the toys called? Connect.

Little Tykes.

Yeah, the Connect.

Exactly.

We did that, we were made for this.

And I just, I saw this thing and I was like, I know how to do the curtain part. If the guys could figure out the frame.

They totally can.

It'd be done. And it really is just like not that hard.

No, you just, I feel like we could do it. They'll do it faster, but we could do it.

But I was like, if I like had Jackson and dad like figure that part out, I could do you guys and then it's done Yeah, you know and then it's it's cheap and I don't have to pay for like this giant flower arrangement And it's something that could be moved to like yeah dinner, you know, and it's kind of big for photo booth op or something

Yeah, I love it.. I wanna see a photo. All right, Ashley and I are currently headed to Trader Joe's. We're gonna do some grocery shopping and she's going to help me pick out some stuff,

some good things.

Here we go. Here we go.

Here we go.

Let's get it.

I think I got a bad cardigan. Wait, that sounded like I said cardigan, but I meant cart again. Rule number one, fast and easy.

Okay. Turkey burgers.

Okay.

All you literally need is like this and like a sauce.

Some rice, some lettuce.

You could do like a burger and lettuce wraps. You could wrap it in a wrap. Okay, okay, put it in a wrap.

Okay, okay, put it in.

So crowded today.

I'm getting vlog shy.

Is that what we had earlier?

This is what I had for lunch earlier

and what you tasted.

It was good.

Yes, beefless, or cheeseless, and carbless. Carbless, isn't it corn? You're right, that's the word.

Gluten free?

Flourless. Gluten-free. Jax and I are obsessed with this. It's so good. You can add anything to doctor it up. Like veggies, rice. I poured this over jasmine rice, which we're gonna get you. I always have these

on stock. Okay. Good to know.

I'll pour these, I'll like pour anything over this because you can have rice. Stay right here. Wait.

Okay, I'll come with you.

Oh I do love these.

I love these.

I forgot.

I like forget about everything.

The same way I keep the rice on stock, I always keep these on stock. I'll eat them plain or with spaghetti sauce. Yeah.

No, I feel like you can do a lot with those.

I forgot about those.

Oh yes, those are good too. That's a chicken breakfast sausage. And why? Yeah. I always say, stop that. No, the frozen stuff's good because then it won't go bad because everything I get fresh just goes bad because I don't cook it.

Exactly. Ugh.

But this is better than eating it all the time. Ashley!

Japanese souffle cheesecakes? Looks good.

Wait.

First ingredient, cream cheese. Wait. Wait first ingredient cream cheese wait, okay, that looks so good

But I don't like goat cheese

But I don't like goat cheese Yeah, that was good Okay, but if not I'm gonna give it to you. That's totally fine. Or, we're gonna leave it. If you learn to like this, you can add it to everything. And you've been, you're having cheese. And, like, this is a more milder one than, like, those ones.

So, if you, like, cook it and let it get, like, real crispy and add salsa and stuff. Yeah, okay, you know like egg bites I could I could do egg bites Okay

Why don't you make content like this without the bloating This tastes good. It's not just a you know, you can have an omelet Yes, true who chives I should get chives I just realized what I desperately need and Remy's gonna be so happy is like spices like I don't really have like even just salt And pepper and every time she's like, how do you not have salt and pepper? And I'm like, I know it's cuz I don't cook so we're gonna make her so happy right now I think I know I don't have this. I honestly feel really good because I just don't want things to go bad so I think this is a good

starting. I think this is a great starting spot. Thank you so much. And we can see if this sticks. I'm gonna really try not to eat out for a week. Like order. What a fun challenge. No it's a challenge within a challenge. Inception. I got pepper, I got salt, I got salt I got garlic powder. That's like my holy Trinity. You know what else we could do we can go home and Order some sprouts to your house because we could get that curry sauce Oh to pour over the rice without hurt my tummy All righty we got it oh my god, this is heavier than I thought we got this we got this. We got this. Hi pretty girls. We just got back to Ashley's. I'm gonna give you guys a quick little Trader Joe's haul. When we were driving over here, I was realizing, I was like, I like have told, like, told you I have doctor appointments

and then I feel like I've barely talked about things, but I was like, let me actually talk to you about like what is going on with my health slash also what doctors are saying slash what we're figuring out and yes, because I feel like I've Not talked about it first thing more popcorn because the other one I had at home was stale Oh, I wanted to try this chicken. I get their pre-cooked chicken like grilled chicken a lot, but this one was chili lime Which I haven't tried i'm sure there's so many things I bought that like I quote shouldn't, but it's a learning curve, you know? It's a learning curve. Hearts of Pompasta, some Chompsticks, Turkey Burgers, Sweet and Salty Umami Crunchies Rice Crackers,

gluten-free, which I think I've had these at Remy's and I remember them being good. Let me see if they're the same ones.

Oh wait, maybe they're different.

Oh, that's good. They are, they're like sweet and salty. They're good, right? Mm-hmm. When you want like a crunchy snack. Got some cuties. Well, mandarins. Same thing. Some ground beef so we can freeze it, as per Ashley said.

Beef tamales. I like how there's two because if there was a pack of like eight, they'd go bad. Okay, this I think is what I'm most excited for I saw this holiday vegetable hash It's pre-cut butternut squash sweet potato red onion celery parsley sage and rosemary And I actually thought it would be really good as like a hash with like like a breakfast Scramble or when I was checking out the guy was like this would be really good also

Roasted with chicken and stuff and I was like that would be really good I know there's gonna be so many people being like why are you getting so much like, you can chop your own veggies? I'm gonna be real. I won't. And that's me being real. Hopefully, baby steps in the future, I can buy everything from the farmer's market and chop it all up myself. But as of now, a lot of this is like easy, pre-cooked, just things that are easy. And better than skipping meals, because that's a bad habit I've gotten into.

I can never say it!

Birria? Birria! I'm always like birria. It's definitely the right way to say it. Birria! Again, three years of Spanish. Jackson and I are obsessed. I'll literally microwave the rice, microwave that, put that on top of the rice, add onions, add cilantro, add avocado. It's phenomenal. You can even like add veggies if you want. We got some gluten-free all-purpose flour in case I have a random spurt of wanting to bake that's bad one bag two we have Turkey meatballs, I really forget about these are really good

Turkey meatballs chicken breakfast patties white rice all the seasonings. You're so welcome Remy I'm so sorry anytime you come over. I literally have nothing goat cheese, which I did like it when you cooked it I'm gonna try. I'm gonna try it with some more eggs. One more breakfast sausage. And then last thing is some roasted garlic marinara sauce, which I'm excited to have with the turkey meatballs.

Maybe we can do that now. I am hungry.

I have a present for you. A present? Yes, I decided just now.

Since we didn't go to Sprouts. No, Ash. No. No. No. No. Since we didn't go to Sprouts, I really thought you would like this. Wait. I thought you'd like this. Oh, a beer from- I used to have this all the time. Wait, thank you. You're welcome. I do- I want to go with you to Sprouts next time. I just tried it here. Oh, gluten-free, dairy-free, grain-free, soy-free. Okay, cool.

Oh my God, yay.

I also just tried these vermicelli noodles.

These are like egg white noodles.

No, I love that. I love vermicelli.

And it's 10 grams of protein. And Jackson and I just tried these. I liked them a lot. They're really noodley. He actually preferred the hearts of palm because he likes al dente. So because he likes a little crunch. He doesn't like crunch. I personally like these. This is the most noodley I've ever tried. Is there one you want to try more? Right now? Well, whenever you cook. Oh, this one. You keep that one. I'll take this one. I have another one. No, stop. I'll stop. No, no, no. In my opinion, it wasn't that much. I think you ran out of that giant... No. No, it's true. I think you need to...

But you bought it for you.

No.

Yay.

Okay, that is... Oh, that's everything I got. That's everything. Okay. I got a ton of blood work done that I actually started back in May,

and I finally got the results back. It was through like an app where you can like see everything in your phone and it said there was kind of a lot of Markers of just things that were not correct, which is good because this is the stuff we want to know This is why I was doing this test to like see what's out But there are a lot of markers that were just like off like there was a handful in my heart category Which was really scary, especially with someone who has health anxiety That there was a lot of inflammation and so on this past Monday, which was vlog on stay one

I went and did a SIBO test Which is like a breath test has her like leaky gut and my digestion because that's been off and I've just been so fatigued and so Tired for honestly like the past year and a half at least I talked to my Psychiatrist even the other day and I was just like have I not been saying I'm like so exhausted 24-7 She was like, yeah, you really have so that's just like it's all validating but it just sucks to being so blunt There are a lot of things and I've always known this that I can also do on my part to make it better

Like I've not been eating well I've been eating out and just ordering meals which is still even if they're healthier places like you still don't know exactly what they put in them I have not been working out or moving my body much I feel like I've just been overwhelmed with like what to what degree I want to do that because I've done like crazy gym Our everyday cardio. This is what's crazy for me in this era right now is like this is the first time truly I feel like I've looked at my health where I'm like, oh I need to work out, but my main goal isn't to be hot or lose weight, which yes, I would love to lose some weight because I have gained some.

Obviously, if this is triggering for anyone, please don't watch, hi, I'll see you tomorrow. And obviously I'm not a doctor, but hi, I assume you know that, I assume you know that. So yeah, there was a lot of inflammation. One thing that was just I wanted to caught me off guard

It's just weird hearing it was like hard hearing that that was just I don't know and then my period cramps have been like so Much worse the past year I would say too so all that to say we're getting tests. It's good We went over everything the good news is everything is reversible But she was like I really want to test you for celiac disease, for leaky gut syndrome. Like I wanna get to the very bottom before we give you a proper diagnosis of anything. So the only thing that was the most triggering for me was they said there was plaque in my heart,

which I was like, oh, that's terrifying. Cause again, health anxiety over here. That's like the worst thing I could hear. So the good news about everything, I'm not gonna get too into all of it, Is that everything's caught early everything is reversible I just have to like make changes and obviously some of them require medications, which I don't even know what that would be Necessarily taking more magnesium was one thing they said and just a much better diet

Oh some of the blood work that I did Tested all of my I talked about this a little bit I'm pretty basic some of the blood blood tests that I did has all like the food allergies and sensitivities high I have so many and I feel like I'm constantly bloated dairy for sure came back as like yeah You can't have this wheat and like so much other stuff. So that's hence the gluten-free everything I don't think it's celiac disease because I feel like I would know but who knows regardless baby steps They said start with gluten-free dairy free and try to have as little sugar as possible

Which I know there's a lot of sugar all this stuff But again for me just not ordering out is good and I have been skipping more meals this year just because I'm not hungry I don't know and I know that's so bad and then this morning I had another follow-up where she just wanted to know about like my lifestyle and she's like, let's give you realistic goals I'm not gonna sit here and be like workout five times a week because like I need you to like live up to it like I need I need it to be doable for you So she was like just go on a 20-minute walk every single day and I was like, okay 20 minutes I can do that and this is something that like it feels like that's not good enough and I feel like a failure Because to me 20 minutes is like nothing and not good enough

It needs to be like a full all-or-nothing workout where I like I'm like, you know, whatever and it was really cool Like she was explaining She was like ever since you were a literal infant like you've been fed so many different like diet trends and whatever in society It's like that anyway, you know, so she was like don't think about what you should do Don't feel like it's not good enough Like anything's good especially because we're just focusing on like being healthier and like my fatigue and it's just it's such a different mindset to now being like

Oh, I'm only in my 30s. If I feel this bad in my 30s, like I'm gonna feel like shit in my 40s and in my 50s and I don't want to like I look at my mom and she's so like fit and just feels good and like I'm just like I want to be like that when I'm in my 60s like that's crazy. But right now I'm like, yeah. Sorry, she didn't say first thing in the morning. Well, yeah, she meant like on an empty stomach first thing when you wake up just because it's a diuretic. So she was like, you need to like hydrate, you're probably so dehydrated, which is also causing your inflammation. There's like a lot of different things. So I was like, I cannot stress enough, like if you do not feel comfortable with your doctors to like explain or be honest or just like feel like they're in your corner with you,

like that's a huge, huge, I mean, the healthcare system is working crazy here anyway, but like you get what I'm saying. I really feel like I'm in good hands with everyone. So all that to say, you know your body the best. So even if you feel like something be leaking but it's still it's still no. So yeah, we're gonna figure it out

I'm like overall I'm fine It was a lot of info at once and it's just a lot of like lifestyle changes And again lately, I just feel like all I've been wanting is a quesadilla, which is the last thing I should be having I'm gonna have a very late lunch Linner, I don't know we're gonna eat and then we're gonna go on a W So the girls will know what that means. I'm not gonna say the real word W-a-l-k so here is to bettering our bodies and doing it to be healthy and no other reason. Yeah, hopefully this helps

baby steps baby steps baby steps Although I really wanted that cold foam creamer earlier. Thanks for listening to my TED talk. Comment below a way that you are trying to better yourself. Whether it doesn't have to be diet,

it can be like journaling or a 20 minute walk. Oh my God, if anyone wants to join me on my 20 minute, 20 what? My 20 minute walk a day, please let me know because I need to move my body.

Okay, we can do it together, we got this. ♪♪♪
